1 | What are the Methodists up to? | Not Specified | Norrie | 10831 | ||
What are the Methodists up to? I got this from Fallwell today: Our Heavenly … Mother? Speaking of political correctness, a new hymnal supplement being utilized in some United Methodist churches is attempting to feminize the Old Time Religion in quite an alarming manner. One hymn in "The Faith We Sing" hymnal refers to our heavenly Father as "Mother God." Another refers to the Holy Spirit as "She [who] Comes Sailing on the Wind." Other hymns sing praises to "Mother Earth," "Mothering Christ" and "Holy Partner." While some hymns in the book are traditional Christian songs, Mark Tooley, executive director of the United Methodist committee of the Institute on Religion and Democracy, believes the songs that embrace feminist theology signify a growing distance from Evangelicalism in the 8.4-million-member denomination. "The whole point of Christian hymnals is to worship the God of the Bible," Mr. Tooley told the Washington Times. "The problem with worshipping a ‘Mother God’ or feminine deity is that it is not the God of the Bible." The IRD, an ecumenical alliance of Christians based in Washington, claims that the recently published United Methodist hymnal subtly introduces feminist theology into hymns that inaccurately depict God. In other words, these songs are part of the continuing quest to create God in man’s image. Mr. Tooley says that some of the theology behind the hymns has been influenced by the "Re-Imagining Community," a Minneapolis group whose participants have introduced the worship of Sophia, the "goddess of wisdom." We are seeing increasing numbers of churches replacing the truths of the Bible with feel-good "spirituality" that is designed to feminize or humanize the God of the Bible. Sadly, these people are blinded to the fact that God’s ways are far above the mortally flawed considerations of man: "For My thoughts are not your thoughts Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55: 8,9, NKJV) |

2 | How much submitting must a woman do? | Not Specified | Norrie | 11617 | ||
How far should a woman have to go to submit to her husband? If he is physically or mentally abusive, surely she doesn't have to put up with that? What if it is a Christian woman and a non christian man? What if the man claims to be a Christian but is abusive towards his wife and children? | ||||||

4 | Who will claim the reward? | Not Specified | Norrie | 19041 | ||
Who will claim the reward? I think some of the answers given here are excellent answers but will it satisfy an SDA? Re: need help with Sabbath question Hot news item! TESTING THE FAITH Sunday, holy Sunday? Pastor resurrects Sabbath debatewith 1 million reward By Joe Kovacs © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com One of the longest running disputes in the history of Christianity - Saturday vs. Sunday - is having new life breathed into it with a cash reward of up to 1 million toward a resolution. A. Jan Marcussen, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor in Illinois, is starting with 50,000 of his own money if someone can produce "a verse from the Holy Bible showing that God commands us to keep holy the first day of the week" - Sunday - "instead of the seventh day" - Saturday - "as is commanded in the Bible." He says the reward will increase in 25,000 increments each week for 40 consecutive weeks if no one sends him such a verse, with a final cap at 1 million. "The 50,000 offer is to wake people up out of a stupor," Marcussen tells WorldNetDaily. "People wake up when there's money involved." A. Jan Marcussen and wife Vennita Marcussen, who says he has the money ready to pay if someone is successful, is making the offer to encourage people to read the Bible for themselves, instead of accepting without question what religious leaders have been instructing. "Millions of people believe and have confidence in their clergy that what they're being taught is true," says Marcussen. "They'll find out that the clergy is not teaching from the Bible." Marcussen, 52, is not only a preacher in his local church, he's also a physical therapist, nutritionist, marriage counselor and author of six books. One of those works, "National Sunday Law," focuses on the Saturday-vs.-Sunday debate. Marcussen is asking people to read that book before applying for the reward. (It can be downloaded for free from his website.) As a college student in the 1970s, Marcussen made a similar, albeit smaller, challenge. He posted an ad in a local newspaper starting with a 500 reward and ending up at 1,000. "Certain preachers really got excited," he says. "But the only thing they couldn't do was produce a Bible verse [as proof]." Experts on biblical scripture tell WorldNetDaily that Marcussen has little need to worry about paying out the money. "I am afraid that you are not going to find an exact Bible verse to counter the good pastor's challenge and collect," says James Efird, professor of biblical interpretation at Duke University Divinity School in North Carolina. "As far as I know, there is no verse which specifies that Sunday is the day for Christians to observe the Sabbath." Indeed, neither the words Saturday nor Sunday appear anywhere in most translations of the Bible. Days of the week are referred to by number, starting in the first chapter of Genesis in the account of creation. It was after the work of creating that God made special note of one day of the week: "And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made" (Genesis 2:3). In the Ten Commandments, the seventh day was made the focus of the fourth mandate: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy ... thou shalt not do any work ... For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it" (Exodus 20:8-11). The word sabbath comes from the Hebrew root word "shabbat," meaning to rest, cease or desist. Scholars say the word in Bible scripture not only refers to the weekly day of rest, but also the annual festivals of God such as Passover and Day of Atonement. It additionally refers to a sabbatical year, and it's the term denoting one week. The phrase "first day of the week" occurs eight times in the King James translation of the New Testament, mostly dealing with the circumstances of Jesus' resurrection. In the lexicon of modern society, the debate over which day is holy - that is, set apart to God - goes unresolved by the editors of Webster's New World College Dictionary. While the first definition of sabbath calls it "the seventh day of the week (Saturday), set aside for rest and worship and observed as such by Jews (from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) and some Christian denominations," its second meaning defines it as "Sunday as the usual Christian day of rest and worship."

5 | Why should we pray to Mary? | Not Specified | Norrie | 26344 | ||
Why should we pray to Mary? Emmaus said he wanted to start a new thread, here goes. BIBLE ANSWER MAN BROADCAST: Eric Svendsen on the Bible Answer Man. For most of the Protestant world, Mary, the mother of Jesus, remains an enigma. Who is this woman of whom the Scriptures tells us very little? Is she the model of the ideal disciple of Christ, or simply a vessel from which the Savior took His humanity? For the Catholic, there is no equivocation: She is the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven -- the Divine Mediatrix. What is the correct view, and how are we to approach this most intriguing New Testament figure? Be sure to listen to the Bible Answer Man broadcast on Thursday and Friday, December 13 and 14, when author and co-director of New Testament Restoration Ministries, Eric Svendsen joins Hank on the program. They will be taking your calls and discussing Eric's new book, Who Is My Mother?. For more information, click here: http://www.equip.org/special/ |

6 | What does "your eyes saw" mean in Deut 7 | Not Specified | Norrie | 29458 | ||
If Deuteronomy is Moses talking to the children of the Israelites who were rescued from Egypt because they all had to die in wilderness, how come Deut 7:19 says "your eyes saw" there? Only ones whose eyes could have actually saw was Moses, Joshua and Caleb. Deut 7:19 "the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs and the wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So shall the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. |

7 | What was the first Bible? | Not Specified | Norrie | 30623 | ||
I have been having a debate on another forum and need some facts about first Bible, which was it. Here is some dialog from discussion so if anybody has any help they can give me on what to say to this guy, feel free. 6.54 in reply to 6.47 Kate think as you will, that is your right. Fact there are hundreds more writings out there pretaining to God and Jesus. They were not cannonized by man. Then some was later taken away for expediency's sake. What is that all about? How does that not leave you with some doubt, was the first inspirations of Cannonization somehow wrong? Why is it the Catholic bible an earlier version a direct descendent from Peter , "the rock upon which my church shall be built" has a different set of Ten commandments than the KING JAMES VERSION? Who had the bible rewritten for political reasons despite what you have been told. Now the Jehovah , which is a false name , Witnesses are on their fourth bible. What the frell is their problem? Then you have all the rewrites of today into modern English so we can understand it. However if you take just the King James Version and compare meaning for meaning they are clouded. After so many rewrites how can each and every word of the bible be taken as inspired and which version is the inspired one and why. J.Robert Edwards. From: Norrie (NORRIEJ) Jan-15 10:48 am To: J. Robert Edwards (ROBJOTRNEW) (55 of 71) 6.55 in reply to 6.54 Eddie, the "Rock" that Jesus built His church wasn't Peter, it was the revelation that Jesus is the Son of God, He is who He claimed He was. From the time Satan beguiled Eve in garden, he has been trying to get man to turn from God and worship him. He does this by many means and one is perverting scripture. The reason the Cath have a different set of commandents is that they left out the graven images one because they have graven images coming out the wazoo. They just took the covet commandment and broke it into 2 to make it 10. That would be a good example of a perverted bible. 6.69 in reply to 6.55 Norrie your bible , I assume the King James version is as I quoted as to Peter. As to the other again the Catholic was the first bible so why is it wrong and yours right? I am not defending any bible, as such I am defending the inconsistences , and people thinking there's is the divine word of God , this is where all the wars come from. JRE. |

8 | Why change order of commandments? | Not Specified | Norrie | 32203 | ||
Question to Catholics. I just found a Cath Bible site. I read Ex 20 and the 10 Commandments are in there just like they are in every other Bible. I was raised Cath. I was taught the 10 commandments are 1. I am the Lord thy God, you shall have no other Gods before me. 2. Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. 3. Keep holy the sabbath day. 4. Honor thy mother and father. 5. Thou shall not kill. 6. Thou shall not commit adultery. 7. Thou shall not steal. 8. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 9. Thou shall not covet they neighbor's wife. 10. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods. Why do they leave out the graven image commandment and break the covet commandment in two? It's all right there in the Bible, why do they change it? |

10 | Crime/punishment in Lev? | Not Specified | Norrie | 37215 | ||
Has anyone done a study in Lev. where you can go to and see the crime vs penalty. Example: stoneing-muderder, incest, homosexuality, beastiality, etc. When they put to death, that is stoning, right? In Lev 20:14 they mention burned w/fire for marrying a woman and her mother. What about the cut off, is that like ostrasized? That's is Lev 20:6, those who turn to psychics. Then it in 17 says bear his guilt, 18 is cut off again, 19 bearing guilt, are they the same? |

I just returned from vacation and something puzzled me but I didn't want to ask them. My cousin is married to a Mormon and they (him and his father) said grace before meals and always ended the prayer "in Jesus Name we pray". I thought Jesus wasn't God pre se in their religion. I didn't want to start any contraversy then but does anybody know the answer, could they be Christian Mormons? Is this normal for Mormons? My cousin was raised Methodist, maybe this was a compromise. | ||||||

18 | Need questions on Noah answered! | Not Specified | Norrie | 79078 | ||
My mil is doing a study on Noah and she has some questioned that we're wondering about now. Any answers would be appreciated. Gen 5:32 Noah was 500 when he had his 3 sons, they were triplets? How old was Noah when he built the ark? How long did it take him? We figure 100 yrs at the most since he was 600 when flood began. Did he have help building the ark? He could have hired people, just because they think you're crazy doesn't mean they won't take your money. If he did start when he was 500, his kids were just babies so they would have had to grow up enough to help, they would have at least been teenagers it seems. Noah didn't have any other kids or it just doesn't say because they were corrupt too and had to be destroyed? If his sons were 100 when the flood came, they didn't have any kids or they were corrupt and had to be destroyed? I guess most of these questions are speculation and we'll just have to wait till weget to Heaven and ask but if you have studied and know, please let me know. Thanks! Norrie |
